While we often think of health care as occurring in a physician’s office or hospital room, the most effective care can take place outside of a medical setting. Patients facing housing instability are disproportionately likely to have mental health and/or substance use disorder. Thus, housing security can be an effective way to improve both physical and mental health for patients experiencing homelessness.
